Letter: Confusion

I wish there was something I could mention that would indicate that President Obama has grasped what it means to be president of the United States, but I can’t. He seems confused. He has turned his back on Israel and states that they should revert to borders long past.

Has anyone told him that Israel is surrounded by governments that teach hatred for all that is Jewish? That most of Islam’s religious leaders call for the death of all Jews and they respect no other faith?

In Israel, they live in a state of constant war, never knowing when another rocket will hit, or terrorist bomber will kill a few more citizens. Neighbors, family, everyone is a target of the hate thrown at the people of Israel. Most of its citizens came back to Israel to escape the Nazis. This land was planned for them and laid out in the Old Testament, making it the logical place for them to seek peace and make a home.

But this president seems to think he knows better than God, that moving them around as if they were checkerboard pieces is the right thing to do and all the while he is visiting four other countries in six days (certainly can’t solve any problems on this schedule) and focuses on his Irish ancestry.

It is astounding that any president of our country would be so blatant in disregard for what is really important. Add to this that our Congress is in a battle for sanity and some are trying to stop the spending of money we don’t have, but the president just keeps on playing the role of leader of the free world.

When do we get serious? When will he be forced to get serious? It makes sense that our enemies make us a target and the actions of the so-called leadership is the prominent reason. But, since the people put them in charge, we have to carry the responsibility.
